Nature and Purpose of Agency
Greenhope was established in 1975 in a convent that was transformed into a
comprehensive residential treatment program for formerly incarcerated women. Over
the years, it has developed formal relationships with the criminal justice system and has
expanded its work to include services for women on parole and those referred by the
courts as an alternative to incarceration (ATI). Located in East Harlem, Greenhope's
commitment to providing quality services to predominantly poor African American and
Latina ex-offenders has made it a leader in working with women to address the
problems that lead to a life of drugs and crime. It is one of the few woman-centered
facilities operating in New York State, which serves both parolees and ATI clients.
